among your carnivorous friends? Do you long for the support of those who
share your ethical ideals? If so, join us for ongoing lesbian vegetarian

Chicago, Illinois: Chicago GLBT for Animal Rights is a place for local GLBQT people to come together and share info, learn, grow and feel community within 'the community'. One goal if to form a local group to educate and promote a cruelty free Chicago, but non Chicago people are more than welcome to join the discussion and take part.

Perhaps in a community near you:Radical Faeries are not exactly a vegetarian organization, but they are most definitely queer, and most faerie events in many locations are vegetarian or at least veg-friendly.

Please send
mail if you have information that should be added to this list.

Famous LGBQT Vegetarians

Except as noted, the following folks appear on both internet
lists of famous vegetarians
AND gay/lesbian/bi
celebrities. Those who are listed as "once" may not
identify as gay or lesbian, but have acknowledged having had at least one
homosexual experience in their lives. (Additional lists of famous queers
are here
and here.)

Morrissey
[m] (____- ) Musician (The Smiths, solo)
(Morrissey IS on the list of gay celebrities cited above, but a
couple of people have told me this is wrong. Of course, others have written
to tell me that those couple of people are out of their minds.
If anyone out there can quote
a reliable source on this issue, please let me know! Thanks. OOH, I received a sensible response to this question!
Ben writes: You had a note asking for information about Morrissey. I
can tell you that I read in a book about him (I think it
was 'Morrissey In His Own Words') that he says he is, in
fact, celibate, taking neither men nor women as sexual
partners. (How true that is I'll leave to the rumor mills.)
He also said, though, that when he was in school he would
send love notes to both boys and girls, and that he rejects
labels for his sexuality (which is a very bisexual thing to
say). I think that's a pretty authoritative answer, then.
About his being veg, well, he did write "Meat Is Murder.")
Mark Simpson has some interesting comments on this subject. He writes, "'Bisexual' might describe him if it didn’t suggest twice the opportunity instead of merely twice the frustration. One thing is certain: he isn’t straight.... But that doesn’t mean that he’s gay either"

Melissa
Etheridge* [f] (____- ) MusicianAlways the subject of controversy here... :-) Time Magazine finally
confirmed that she's gay (4/14/97, p. 86), but in a 1998
interview
she said she is no longer vegetarian!
